Hera arrived in Jedburgh with Catherine and the Pierce siblings late that night, so they checked into a hotel first.

The next day, she called Leon to ask for help replaceing a rental near the courtyard house.

After hearing her request, Leon said, "I actually have a place near Jedburgh's suburbs. It's been empty for over a year. I'll send you the address and gate code. Check it out and see if it works for you."

"Okay," Hera replied.

She then casually asked, "Why do you have a place in Jedburgh?"

She remembered that Leon was from the south.

"Don't be jealous. Damian insisted I take it when he was pursuing me," Leon boasted, then teased, "You're already moving to Jedburgh. Didn't Mr. Killian replace a place for you?"

"I'm not jealous at all. I received a courtyard house recently," Hera said.

Leon was speechless. He inwardly cursed. She didn't miss the chance to boast.

He asked, "Then why are you looking for a rental?"

"I'm planning to open a medical clinic in the courtyard house and need another place for my grandma and my friends to stay," Hera explained briefly.

At the mention of the clinic, Leon recalled the medicine Hera had given him last time.

"By the way, boss, the medicine you gave me really helped my godson. It greatly reduced his post-surgery rejection. His doctor was amazed and asked about the miracle doctor who made it."

"Oh," Hera responded nonchalantly.

She was used to such reactions.

"My godson's dad wanted to ask if you have a reward in mind," Leon said.

"Don't be shy. He's the head of the Hubbard family. You can ask for anything."

Hera found that title familiar. Wasn't he the one who had Shaun beaten by his grandfather?

When she had looked into Leon's godson's condition, she hadn't paid attention to the child's father.

"Just have him leave a good review and send patients my way when my clinic opens," Hera replied.

"Got it!" Leon agreed.

After hanging up, Hera took Catherine and the Pierce siblings for breakfast, then called a cab and headed to the address Leon had sent.

The house was perfect. It was

located in a neighborhood next to

the courtyard house, about a

half-mile walk away. The

l

neighborhood had good greenery, and the house had four bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room.

Hera rented it from Leon right away. That same day, she paid extra for a cleaning service to tidy the house She also converted the original. study and small home theater into bedrooms and added new furniture and essentials.

Three days later, Hera moved everyone from the hotel to the house once it was ready.

Four bedrooms were just enough for everyone to have their own room.

"It's so pretty. Is this my room?"

Everly stood at the door of a pink-decorated bedroom as she looked at Hera with gratitude.

Hera nodded.

"Time was tight, so the renovation was slightly simple. Make do for now. You can add more things gradually as needed."

Everly quickly shook her head.

"It's perfect. You didn't have to spend so much on us. Wayne and I could have shared a room with bunk beds."

Wayne agreed, "Yeah, Jedburgh's real estate is expensive. Renting such a big place is too much. You've done enough for us already."

They had seen the prices in the area.

Even the cheapest ones are over tens of thousands of dollars per square foot. Renting such a large floor plan would cost over one thousand dollars a month.

They didn't want to separate from Catherine initially, so they came to the city to make a living with her. However, they had overlooked the high living costs.

Hera raised her hand to stop them.

"Enough of that. If you feel bad, just work hard and take good care of Grandma."

Although she had kept a room for herself here, she wouldn't always stay there. Knowing the Pierce siblings would take care of Catherine reassured her.

"Sure. We will."

Everly nodded.

She knew Hera didn't like unnecessary fuss, so she decided to repay her with actions rather than words.

Once they were settled, Hera assigned tasks to the Pierce siblings.

Everly was to buy equipment for making medicinal meals, while Wayne was asked to familiarize himself with Jedburgh's transportation routes. With that, they started preparing for the clinic's opening.
